So, the EFF has an article up on how to clear your search history at Google before the changes to the company's privacy policy takes effect. Most importantly, the hitherto sealed search hisory will now be shared with other Google services to provide better products advertising. Interestingly enough, when I got to the search history page, I saw this. Was this feature opt-in or something? Also, just to be safe, where do I go to delete or even just see the information associated with my Apple ID or my Live ID?

What sort of idiot is worried enough about privacy to go to the trouble of anonymizing through TOR then signs in to a web service of any sort? Oh wait, the sort that probably needs to be caught to begin with.

As for trust, the answer is simple, don't trust *any* company past their own profit motives. Ever.
